The floods may have subsided, but the spirit of community in Burdekin remains as strong as ever.
Amidst the devastation that swept through Ingham, a shining beacon of kindness emerged in the form of a man named Troy. When a couple travelling to Townsville became stranded at Plantation Creek on Saturday afternoon, it was the generosity of locals that turned their ordeal into a testament to human kindness.
Troy, a local business owner, offered them a meal and a place to stay for the night—an act of compassion that left them deeply grateful. Earlier in the day, a resident and her daughter provided them with a much-needed cup of coffee, while Suzie from the Drive-In made them a toastie for lunch.
After waiting most of the day for the road to clear, the couple made the difficult decision to leave their car behind. Fortunately, a kind-hearted truck driver offered them a lift all the way to Townsville, ensuring they made it home safely.
Though they eventually had to return to retrieve their vehicle, they remain overwhelmed by the kindness they encountered. They expressed their heartfelt thanks to the Plantation Creek community, describing them as “wonderful people.”
This heartwarming display of generosity serves as a reminder that even in challenging times, small acts of kindness can make a world of difference.
